Review: We Were Liars E. Lockhart is flatout one of the smartest writers I know. Good thing, too, because in the hands of a lesser writer, WE WERE LIARS could have come out gimmicky or like an annoying trick. Instead, she employs the novel's nowinfamous surprise ending brilliantly, piecing it seamlessly into everything that came before and making it work perfectly in the plot she so carefully constructed.

Just an "ok" book I didn't find it very suspenseful, mostly it's just a book about a bunch of rich people. Curiosity was there, but not suspense. Somewhat interesting characters, sometimes plain weird interactions. The only part I found interesting was the last portion, basically the last 50 pages. Other than that I was bored.

We Were Liars The beginning reeled me in, the Sinclair's seemed like an odd family and I wanted to know more unfortunately the more I learned the more I wanted to know more. When I finally found out the truth, the whole story my body shook, tears streamed from my eyes, it was hard to breathe. I loved it and hated it. I'm mad I read it because sad endings really affect me long-term but I'm glad I was open enough to finish the entire story even though it hurt.

Astounded by this Amazing Read This was one of the best books I've ever read, I finished it in one sitting because I was drawn to keep turning pages. The writing style was great and I loved how the plot twist was thrown at you, I was left agape.

Disappointed I wouldn't say this is the worst book I have ever read because there are some books I couldn't even finish. However, this book does not deserve the praise it has received in my opinion. There are "fairy tales" randomly placed in and it took a long time to develop into a real story. In my opinion, this book is booty. Definitely not for me.
